North Baltimore fire damages 4 buildings

A two-alarm fire in north Baltimore shut down some heavily trafficked roads for a few hours early Monday morning.

The fire started around 3 a.m. Monday at a building in the 4600 block of York Road that housed a business and a home, according to Baltimore City fire officials. It then spread to three other buildings.

Officials said flames were shooting through the roof when crews got there. It took them about an hour to get the fire under control.

No one was hurt.

"There were two buildings that were occupied. All occupants evacuated the building safely," said fire spokesman Ian Brennan.

York Road was shut down at Cold Spring Lane until about 7:15 a.m. Monday.

Investigators are still searching for a cause.
